Well, I got everything taken care of. Scooby and Betty are going to be going to Doggie Daycamp the rest of the week at the Doggie Resort (not the Country Club, the other one…). I got their records from their current vet and from their old vet (the vet the rescue group uses) and had the new day camp place fax me the application. They start tomorrow. Geez, I hope they don’t act up! The last thing I want is a phone call from them, “Mrs. D, Betty and Scooby have tried to bite the leg of every dog on the place, come take them home!”
This has been a total BS week at work. Yesterday I actually did work while everyone else decorated. The decorating at work is totally ridiculous now. Two of the accountants have those mechanical deer. IN THE OFFICE. WTF? My old boss and I discussed making reindeer poop out of tootsie rolls. Ha ha ha ha ha. And then there’s my work areas. I taped a green plastic tablecloth to the door of my office, slapped a wreath on the front door, taped some Santa head goody bags to my window, and called it a day. Then, while the accountants were at lunch, I decorated my new work area. Everyone else in that area is Martha Stewart on crack. My theme is “Crap from the Dollar Store” and features 15 feet of gold tinsel. I’ll take a picture — while it turned out looking awful, I think it’s hysterical. Besides, it’s all going in the garbage on December 26. Or sooner. (Exceptions being the penguin snowglobe, the lighting snowman thingie and the penguin candles I scored at Michaels’ today for $2).
Total cost of decorating two offices in a half-assed manner:
Tablecloth: $1.50
Wreath w/ Ribbon: $2
Wreath hanger: $2.30
Santa Goody Bags: $1.80
Gold Tinsel: $1
Tinsel wreaths (2): $1
Penguin candles(2): $4
Plastic trees(2): $1 (aggrivating — fuckers are covered in sparkles and are a mess already)
Red bows(2): $1.40 (part of the Garden Ridge shop-a-thon leftovers)
Red bows w/ bells(6?): $1 (ya want ’em, D?)
TOTAL: $17 (WTF? How did I spend that much money on decorations even my grandma would think were ugly?)
Extra crap that’s still in my desk: Ribbon (I have no clue what I’m doing with it), 15 more feet of gold tinsel, tacky tacky tacky Santa heads decoration, various silk flowers (possibly to go in vase). Various n’ sundry Secret Santa presents are everywhere — house, car, office.
Next Year’s Christmas Decorating Theme: Apathy.
Merry Christmas, one and all. I’m going to go see if the campers have destroyed the house.
